Xiao Ran and the others were too lazy to pay attention to the farce happening downstairs in the Beijing Hotel.
Not long after entering the banquet hall, Mr. Shan and Zhou Ju arrived one after another, and the hall became more and more lively.
When the time came to 11:30 noon, everyone finally arrived.
The banquet was attended by several leaders from the Cultural Relics Bureau, two curators from the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China, several highly respected old men, and several top experts from the National Museum of China and the National Museum of China.
Xiao Ran respected these top experts in the industry and leaders of the competent departments, and responded very appropriately.
Looking at his performance, Shan Lao and Zhou Ju were full of admiration.
After chatting for a few words, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject, stood up and said loudly with a smile:
"Seniors, I invite you all to attend this luncheon this time. Firstly, I would like to wish all seniors a happy New Year and thank you for your help and teachings."
"The second purpose is to ask everyone to do me a favor, help me control my eyes, and give me some reference opinions."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xiao Ran, you kid, please stop being modest. Your kid's eyesight has long surpassed ours. He is omnipotent and expert in everything."
"A few months ago, we old guys might have been able to help you with your eyes, but now I'm afraid we don't have the qualifications."
Jin Lao said jokingly.
Before he finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.
They all witnessed Xiao Ran's terrifying progress speed.
No one has ever seen anyone like him, or even heard of him.
But the facts are right in front of us and cannot be denied at all!
Faced with this fact, everyone can only conclude that he is an unparalleled genius in antique appraisal.
Even if there is another recognized super genius in the antique shop, the traitor Lu Qinzhai.
Compared with Xiao Ran's talent and progress speed, it was far behind.
After some emotion, Mr. Shan asked curiously:
"Xiao Ran, did you bring some priceless treasure here today? Take it out for everyone to appreciate!"
Xiao Ran looked at the old man, then smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I did bring a treasure here today, but it is not a precious antique relic or artwork, but my private museum design concept."
"You are all leaders in the industry, and you have in-depth research on traditional Chinese architecture, culture and art, so I would like to ask for your help."
"Let's see if there are any shortcomings in my idea for this private museum, and what areas need to be adjusted and improved. Then I can go back and make improvements and strive to achieve the most perfect effect."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested.
Everyone is also looking forward to Xiao Ran's private museum and hopes it can be completed as soon as possible.
In that case, Beijing would have three of the world's top large museums.
Moreover, the three museums are very close to each other and form a tripod, which can perfectly complement each other.
In the field of domestic private museums, Xiao Ran's private museum will become the most eye-catching banner.
Even compared with the top private museums in Europe and the United States, his private museum is not inferior and even better.
"Xiao Ran, you are really resolute, you came up with the idea of a museum so quickly."
"In this case, let's show it for everyone to appreciate and see what wild ideas your kid has."
The director of the National Museum said expectantly.
"Of course it's no problem, I can't wait to do it."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then looked at Fang Yufei.
Fang Yufei understood instantly, immediately stood up, took out her notebook, and started to connect to the large-screen TV in the banquet hall.
In a moment, a beautiful museum building appeared on the big screen TV.
This is a giant Chinese-style building that perfectly combines Chinese gardens and ink landscapes.
It creates an ethereal, transparent, distant, yet extremely luxurious feeling.
Although this is only a three-dimensional animation and is still in the conceptual stage, it is still shocking enough.
Seeing the constantly changing images on the TV screen, everyone at the scene was completely shocked and dumbfounded.
After a while, Mr. Shan said with emotion:
"Xiao Ran, you are too daring to think, and your craftsmanship is so amazing. The idea of this private museum is simply breathtaking."
"But have you ever thought about how much it would cost to build such a top-notch private museum that is unique in the world? That is absolutely an astronomical figure."
Xiao Ran shook his head indifferently.
"Now I am only worried that this private museum is not perfect enough and whether there is anything that needs to be improved. Money is not a problem at all."
"I won't blink an eye at how much money I spend on this private museum. That way, I can pay a lot less tax to the Americans. What a good thing!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
When they woke up, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
"Yes! Why didn't we think of this? This kid is still very clever and cunning!"
"If the tax savings are taken into account, the construction cost of this private museum is not unacceptable."
Everyone started talking about it, and everyone was very interested.
At the same time, under the control of Fang Yufei, many details of this top private museum were presented to everyone one by one.
When the video was shown to the entrance of the museum exhibition hall, the director of the National Museum suddenly pointed at the video and asked:
"Xiao Ran, this should be the entrance to the museum exhibition hall. The design is solemn, elegant and very impressive."
"But what's going on with these eight large bulletproof glass display cabinets at the entrance? What treasures are you going to display here?"
Following his words, everyone looked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall on the video screen.
Everyone was also very curious when they saw the large bulletproof glass display cabinets on the screen.
Xiao Ran looked at the eight display cabinets, then smiled and gave the answer.
"Yes, this is indeed the entrance to the museum exhibition hall, and it is also the real facade of my museum."
"In these eight large bulletproof glass display cabinets, I decided to display eight important national artifacts, bronze tripods."
"These bronze tripods must be of sufficient size and weight, and must have a large number of inscriptions to represent China."
"The era they come from must be the Qin Dynasty at the latest. Bronze vessels no matter how late they are are not eligible to be selected."
"I currently have four such important national weapons in my hands, all from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and all the conditions are met."
"Coupled with the bronze cauldron recovered from Japan this time, there are five important national artifacts, only the last three are missing."
"There are several bronze tripods of this level in major museums in Europe. I will definitely find a way to get them when I go to Europe."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was completely blown up.
"Oh! Putting eight important national artifacts like this at the entrance of the museum exhibition hall, your kid's handiwork is really scary!"
"It's hard to imagine how shocking it would be if this happened! It's so exciting just thinking about it."
Everyone exclaimed one after another, and everyone was very excited.
After a while of exclamation, the director of the National Museum suddenly asked:
"Xiao Ran, why are there eight bronze cauldrons, the most important artifact of the country, that you plan to display here, instead of nine?"
"The tripod determines the nine states. Our country has said this since ancient times. Wouldn't the nine bronze tripods be more representative?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then, everyone looked at Xiao Ran with a smile.
And everyone's eyes and smiles seemed to have a special meaning.
Xiao Ran looked at these old men, then smiled and said:
"The reason why I didn't place the nine bronze cauldrons is because I want to leave some thoughts for myself, and it's also a hope for the future!"
"In my opinion, the last and most important bronze cauldron will definitely appear in the future, such as the day when we become the most powerful country on the planet."
After hearing his explanation, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
What a cunning little fox!
If you don't put up nine big bronze cauldrons, you're probably afraid of violating a taboo!
After secretly complaining, everyone began to discuss the idea of this private museum.
In the blink of an eye, the time has reached twelve o'clock.
Everyone laughed and chatted while enjoying fine wine and food.
At this moment, the banquet hall door suddenly opened.
A middle-level person in charge of the reception opened the door gently and came in. He walked over to my sister-in-law and whispered a few words.
Then, my sister-in-law came close to Xiao Ran and whispered:
"Xiao Ran, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang, who I just met in the lobby downstairs, are outside the banquet hall. They want to come in and toast two glasses of wine to get to know everyone."
"The two of them came with the famous director, two investors, and a popular beauty star. They said they came to apologize."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown.
Then, he whispered:
"Sister-in-law, please ask someone to take the message out. Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang can come in and toast, and the others can forget it."
"The director, the two investors, and the beautiful celebrities, please go back. This is a private party, so we can't invite them in."
"As for apologizing, there is no need at all. I didn't pay attention to what happened downstairs before."
"It's fine to drink with them again when we have a chance to meet them in the future. Let's just forget about it today. The time and place are not right."
My sister-in-law smiled softly, and then whispered:
"Okay, I'll let my men reply to those guys outside like this."
After saying that, she turned around and started giving instructions to the middle-level manager of the company.
Outside the banquet hall.
Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, the famous director and several investors were standing together, chatting in low voices.
A little later, there was the popular beauty star and her manager.
"Teacher Wang, do you know who are eating with Xiao Ran? This scene looks quite big."
"I heard that Xiao Ran has many priceless top-notch antiques and works of art. I wonder if he intends to transfer them? I would really like to get a few treasures for collection."
One investor said expectantly.
Hearing his words, the two veteran celebrities felt helpless.
They came to toast as they had agreed before, but the others came on their own initiative.
Out of face, they couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to come together.
But whether you can enter this banquet hall is a matter of two people.
After a short pause, Mr. Wang said:
"As far as I know, the guests Xiao Ran hosted today are all top experts and scholars in the antique industry. They are all regarded by him as teachers and seniors, so this banquet is very special."
"As for the top antique cultural relics and works of art in Xiao Ran's hands, there are a lot of them. If you want to buy one or two pieces for collection, it is not impossible..."
While he was talking, the door of the banquet hall opened again.
The middle-level person from the company who greeted the guests before walked out of the banquet hall.
